Previously on Kendall Falls...
"Kian Elliott Diamond and Jarrid Eli Diamond. Now we need one more."
"I love you." He grinned and closed his eyes.
"We love you." I smiled and closed my eyes. Next thing I know I hear my name begin screamed.
"JAMES!" ...
Without further ado the continuation of Chapter Twenty Seven.
I bolted down the stairs and into the kitchen where I see Kendall on the ground with an unconscious Mama Knight in his arms. I was frozen.
"James call 911." I nodded and grabbed the house phone.
"911, what's the emergency?"
"My boyfriend's mom is unconscious."
"Sir, is she breathing?" I look over at Kendall.
"Kendy is she breathing?" He nodded.
"Yeah but it's really slow." I sighed.
"Yeah, but it's really slow."
"Okay sir, I've sent the paramedics to your address."
"Thank you." I hung up and ran over to a now crying Kendall.
"Kendall what happened?" He sniffled.
"I don't know Jamesy. I came down to get a snack and noticed that mom had started to clean up from last night. I went looking for her and she was on the floor. James, I am scared." I pulled his head to my shoulder and started petting his hair.
"I know Love. Just keep calm or the babies will start acting up." He nodded and took a deep breath.
Suddenly the door slams open and the paramedics come in. Everything after that is a blur until we get to the hospital. We called our families and they are on their way. Kendall's knee is bouncing at an unremarkable speed and he's going to chew his nails bloody. I am in no better shape, I am going to go bald by the amount of pulling I am doing to it.
"Kendall, James! What happened?" Katie, Pappy Jim, Grandma Rose and Carlos asked running in. Kendall started to shake his head back and forth crying.
"Sissy, I don't know. She was on the ground when I woke up." I have never heard him call Katie sissy before. She gasped and ran to him. He didn't allow me to touch him in any kind of way or he'd flip out on me. Katie pulled him into a hug. She started rubbing his back.
"Sissy, I had a feeling something bad was going to happen to her. I should of told what I thought, it's my fault Sissy." He bawled into her shoulder. I looked to see Carlos' jaw dropped. He's probably thinking the same thing as me. We should have took this more seriously. Grandma Rose came over and rubbed my back while Pappy Jim went to Carlos.
"James, you okay?" I shook my head.
"No, Rose I am not. Kendall told me a few nights ago he was worried about his mom. He said he had a feeling. I should have taken it more seriously." She shook her head and continued to rub my back.
"Honey, it's not your fault. You didn't know anything like this could happen." I shot my head up. She said you instead of we.
"Grandma Rose, do you know something that we don't?" She froze and looked over to a still crying Kendall. She sighed and rubbed her face.
"Yes, actually all the adults know." I slowly blinked at her.
"What do you know?" She sighed again.
"Jennifer will have to tell you that." I looked over to Carlos who probably got the same thing as me because of the look on his face. I seen Candace, Mama, Papi, and the Mitchell's all coming running in. Kendall looked up and seen Candace.
"Candy!" She gasped and went running over to him. Hugging him and rubbing his belly. Grandma Rose saw my face and squeezed my knee.
"James, he's just like his father. Kent never let Jennifer touch him when his grandfather died. He let his big sister and Kelly console him." I shook my head as Mama came and sat beside me.
"Why though Rose? I want to keep him safe and just hold him right now." I started to tear up. She smiled.
"Because he loves you. Kent was the same way, we don't understand why they do it but it's a reason they think works. I don't think anyone not even them can understand the reason. I think it's a coping thing, because Katie's his older sister and Candy is his older wiser friend." I nodded and wiped my face.
"Makes sense because wasn't Mama Knight younger than Mr. Knight?" She nodded.
"Yes. Just wait a few hours he'll be needing you more than you'd know." She said and got up and over to Kendall and Katie who both gripped on to her. I turned to Mama who sent me a sad smile.
"You knew this was going to happen one day didn't you?" She nodded.
"Yes, I did." I sighed.
"Then why didn't you tell me?" She sighed and rubbed my head.
"Because it's her choice if she tells. Rosie is right though, when he finds out what's going on he'll be needing you like Katie will be needing Carlos." I nodded and laid my head on her shoulder.
"Mama he's gonna lose her isn't he?" I whispered. She blinked away tears.
"I think so sweetie." She whispered back. I looked up at her to see tears starting to fall. I have never seen my mother cry ever. I wiped them away.
"Mama, you'll tell me if something ever goes on with you right?" Man, I just went really baby on her. She nodded and kissed my head.
"Then why has Mama Knight kept things from Katie and Kendall so much?" She sighed.
"Sweetie, you'll learn somethings are best left unknown to your children. She has her reasons and those reasons were good at the time but she didn't even know when any of this would have happened before she's talked with them. Just like Kendall and the babies." I nodded. I got an idea in my head, maybe it will make us feel better.
"Mama, we figured out two full names for the boys." She smiled a little.
"Okay, what are they?" She asked pushing my hair back.
"Kian Elliott Diamond and Jarrid Eli Diamond." She chuckled.
"I think Jimmy will like that you named one of them after him." I nodded and curled further up into Mama's lap. Hours and hours have passed. Kendall is currently asleep on Grandma Rose and Candace. Katie is out like a light on Candace and Pappy Jim. Papi and Carlos came over a little after are conversation and Carlos and I couldn't keep our eyes of our pregnant loves. We see a doctor come up to Mama.
"Hi Brooke, I thought I'd be seeing you again. You already know what's going on so, if you could get Kendall and Katie up. She wants to talk to them. Room 224." Mama nodded and the doctor left. I looked up at her and tilted my head.
"Mama how does he know your name?" She sighed and stood up.
"Because he knows about Jennifer long before any of this happen. We've discussed it early that I am the one that gets notified when things go wrong." She walked over to Kendall and Katie and gently shook them awake.
"Hi sweethearts. Your mom is up and she wants to talk to you." They nodded and got up. Kendall came over and his face broke my heart. Tear stains all over his face, red puffy eyes and a lip that's still trembling. He held his hand out.
"I might need you. Can you come with me?" I nodded and took his hand. I kissed his temple and he laid his head on my shoulder. Yeah, Grandma Rose was right. He needs me.
Kendall's POV
When Mama Diamond woke us up and said mom wants to talk with us I knew that I needed James with me. Katie can only be strong for so long because she is going through the same thing as me. We are walking to her room with everyone else following us. When we walked in she was so pale and hooked up to so many machines. I gripped James' hand harder and he just let me. I walked slowly up to her.
"Mommy?" She smiled a sweet smile at me.
"Hi baby." I started to cry because it wasn't the same baby that I am used to. It's all scratchy and soft. She stuck her hand out to me and rubbed my hand.
"Baby don't cry. There's something that I need to talk with you and Katie about." I nodded and pulled James closer to me. She sent small smiles to Carlos and James.
"Boys can you sit down with them? Please." They nodded and pulled the chairs up and sat us on their laps. Mom took a deep breath.
"I have stage four breast cancer." She said, just like she does with everything just ripping off the band-aid.
When I heard that my blood ran cold and the babies started kicking harder than they were before. I bawled and held my stomach. James started to rub both my belly and my back. My mom has cancer, she can't have cancer. Will she even make it to see her grand-babies being born? I can't do it without her.
"No mommy. You can't. You can have treatment or something." She shook her head.
"There are somethings I need to tell both of you." I looked over at Katie who has a stony face. She's the one that's always been the one to hold her emotions in until she's alone.
"I found out about the cancer when you guys were in fifth grade. Your father and I looked all over Minnesota for a Cancer place but we couldn't find one." She said.
"So, the reason you made us move is because you needed a better place for cancer treatment?" Katie asked. She nodded.
"Yeah and it worked for a little while. Then it came back during your freshman year." No,no,no I can't sit here and listen to this. I don't want to hear it, just no.
"NO! Don't say that you were already planning on coming back when Dad died. Don't say it!" I screamed. She chewed on her lip. God, they were planning on it.
"Baby, we were coming back so when things went bad you'd have your dad and all of the people that still loved you." I shook my head back and forth. The babies were kicking really hard but I ignored them while James tried to calm them down.
"But dad died and it ruined your plans! He died and left us! Now you are dying and going to leave us! All of us, Carlos Robert Garcia, Robert Garcia, Joanna Mitchell, Lucas Mitchell, Hortence Logan Mitchell, Brooke Eleanor Diamond, Katherine Marie Knight, James Dillion Diamond, Kendall Donald Knight and your grandchildren Cooper Lee Garcia, Kian Elliott Diamond, Jarrid Eli Diamond and the last angel of ours! You are leaving all of us and you might not even see any of you grandchildren JUST LIKE DAD!" I bawled and curled up as best as I could in James lap. I started to whisper to the babies and rub my belly with James.
Everyone was stunned at the outburst I had. They'd except that from Katie but not sweet little Kenny. Well, you know what sweet little Kenny is going to get a backbone because it seems everyone is going to leave me. I gripped tighter onto James.
"Jam-esy p-lease do-n't le-av-e me t-oo." I whispered cried in his ear. He shook his head and kissed my cheek.
"No way I am leaving you. I love you so much." I nodded and looked at mom. She was crying and so was Katie. I hated that I made them cry but it's just she kept another thing from me.
"I am so sorry baby. I was just hoping that when we came back you'd have your dad but then he passes away and I thought that maybe if I still go through with our plan that you'd still have people that cared about you." I shook my head.
"But you didn't plan on me and Katie getting pregnant when you started to get worst. Did you?" She shook her head.
"No baby I didn't. Even if I did I still would be here because all the treatment stopped working. It was only a matter of time til it caught up with me." I nodded and struggled up.
"I am sorry but I can't sit here any longer and talk about what you'd planned and other things to do with your leaving. I love you but I just can't sit here and pretend like nothings happening like everyone else. I love you mommy." She nodded and wiped her face. James got up with me and walked out. We finally made it to the car where I broke.
I punched the car door which James yelled at me about hurting myself. I screamed at the top of my lungs. Then I fell into James and started crying.
"Ja-mes I am lo-sin-g her. I los-t my da-dd-y and n-ow I am los-in-g her. Did I pi-ss off G-od w-hen I was lit-tle?" I sobbed. He rocked us back and forth.
"Kendall, you didn't piss God off. You've been the sweetest thing since you were little. You have just been dealt a very dirty hand. Remember what you told me when I thought I was going to lose you?" I sniffled and nodded.
"We're a team. Since we are a team we can deal with anything that's thrown at us because together we are better." He said. I chuckled.
"You turn my own words against me and then add things." He chuckled and kissed my lips.
"Whatever happens you are not losing me and we will not lose our angels." He said and rubbed my belly. I sighed.
"Let's get you four home because you've had enough for today." I nodded and he helped me in. Once home he laid down beside me.
"I love you and don't forget that." I nodded.
"I love you."
Okay, so since I have already pre-wrote these chapters I didn't cry this time! But when I wrote it tears for hours until I got to the next chapter. I had to leave a few times so my mom could calm me down. I am sorry I didn't warn you guys about this emotional chapter but it adds to the element of surprise and drama.
I hope you won't come after me with touches and pitchforks. I hope you liked it.
Have a beautiful, wonderful day
